Summary

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and

editing program, which can be extremely useful for creating logos and other

graphics for webpages. GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect

to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well.

GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations

and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all

with multi-level undo.
